So, I finished reading this book a couple of days ago and I wanted to share a little review with you :)
Christopher John Francis Boone is a 15-year-old boy with Asperger's Syndrome (Autism) living in England. This book gives us a clearer vision of this type of disorder, making us discover our daily environment through new eyes, with a new mentality, a new logic.
As the story proceeds, you will realise that Christopher can't understand the simplest things related to society and human emotions. For instance, he can't stand lies or even metaphors (which he condisers a lie). On the other hand, he can solve the hardest problems and equations as long as it's logic for him. Moreover, he has a perfect memory of whatever he saw or felt: every moment of his life is recorded like a movie in his head. His mind works like a computer: organized, logic and straight.
His mentality and his way of processing things will fascinate you. He will be forced to interact with strangers during his 'quest' and he will learn how to deal with situations he never faced before.
The book is written is a very simple way: Everything that passes through the boy's mind is written, with a very simple vocabulary and a clear description of his thoughts, which makes this book delightful to read and very entertaining.
i love this.
